Robot.com, the company putting robots to work in the real world, announced it will be the official Robotics Innovation Partner for PMG's AI & Tech Sandbox, a curated activation in Cannes, France, running from June 22-26, 2026. The five-day live activation will feature a full deployment of Robot.com's fleet, including the industry-proven R-kiwi, several new form factors, and its newly launched version of R-ads, the industry-leading mobile out-of-home advertising platform that enables brands to run mobile, data-driven campaigns through a fleet of autonomous robots.
Agency CEOs, global brand CMOs, media buyers, and creative directors will get an exclusive look at Robot.com's offerings in the Innovation Gallery with displays and interactive demos, plus a sneak peek at yet-to-be-announced products.
Robot.com Co-Founder and President of Robotic Media Judah Longgrear will be featured as part of the AI & Tech Sandbox's interactive talks that speak towards real-world, actionable AI & technology applications and strategies. His curated founder session on June 23 from 4:15–5:00 PM (CEST) features a conversation on storytelling, authenticity, robotics, and why brand narrative may be becoming the last real competitive moat.
"The AI & Tech Sandbox is built around a simple but rare idea: don't talk about the future — build it. That's exactly how Robot.com operates," said Longgrear. "We're not pitching a roadmap or asking anyone to imagine what robots might do for advertising in five years. We're deploying a full fleet during the world's most-watched week in advertising, running live demos, and showing the people who set the industry's direction what's already possible. The time to start layering robots into campaigns isn't coming. It's already here."
PMG, known for its analytical rigor and ability to drive business impact for brands around the globe, built the AI & Tech Sandbox as a place for Cannes attendees to engage with transformative technology, not just hear about it. Bringing Robot.com into that space furthers that goal by putting a boundary-pushing, performance-backed platform in front of the industry's most influential decision-makers.
"The AI & Tech Sandbox is designed to close the gap between curiosity and action. At this critical juncture in the industry, we're moving past theory and into actual applications of technology solving real business challenges," said George Popstefanov, Founder & CEO of PMG. "Robot.com embodies that philosophy, and that alignment is what makes them a great partner for this event. They're building and deploying autonomous robots at scale across industries and environments that need them now, and our Cannes activation gives attendees a chance to see this future of advertising media in motion."
